Last week the ForsythTech IEEE club got a Raspberry Pi. Glad to see it being put to good use, Carroll Perkins just sent me the following:

"This Thursday, Sept 26th, at 3PM
in Hauser 332, the ForsythTech IEEE Students meeting is a demo by Bobby
Garriott of the Raspberry Pi computer hook up. LCD screen, keyboard
and mouse hook ups will be demonstrated.

The Raspberry Pi is a $35 computer board. Ideal for
embedded applications of all types including robotics, CNC and 3D
printer applications. "

Boat

Saw an Oracle TV spot during coverage of the America's cup. They emphasize hardware and software working together, data gathering and even some wearable computing. So, that's what my TV spot would be if I had their budget?

FISH

Also known as Fully Integrated Software and Hardware. So, for the past few years I've been working a tight integration of software, hardware and wearable computing. For metrics, data logging, and stuff like that. And it is finally ready to market. I've never posted about my company and my work on my blog before, but I had to share this.

The Blackbox

This latest revision of the Blackbox is running Linux, and all the major software has been written in Python. In its most basic form, it can be used as a digital signage, and yet can be used to do really cool stuff, like proximity sensing and machine area networking. Walk up to a piece of equipment, any piece of equipment, and you get to see realtime metrics on your tablet, for that machine. And wearable computing.

So if you want to check it out, I'll be at Dion Research's booth (431) demoing the FISH solution. And did I say wearable computing, just like in the TV spot? I cant say more than this, I'll do live tweeting and unveiling on Thursday.
